Us Weekly first reported the news.
Anna and Josh, both 31, are also parents to Mackynzie, 10, Michael, 8, Marcus, 6, Meredith, 4, and Mason, 2.
The couple announced the news of baby no. 6 in April.
“We are so excited to announce that we are expecting a new little one!” Anna wrote on Instagram at the time. “As we watch our children grow and thrive — we look forward to baby six joining us this fall! #littleduggars.”

In June, they revealed the sex of their baby on the way with a video in which one of the couple’s sons poured water over a gold beehive, which then bubbled over with pink foam.
“It’s a girl!” the kids squealed, jumping up and down with excitement.
“This is the 6th gender reveal for our little family and it always so exciting!” Anna captioned the clip. “Each child God has given us is unique and special — we all look forward to the arrival of our daughter / sister this fall!”

This morning Jessa sent over an article which mentioned our first gender reveal with Mackynzie on the Today Show as something that helped popularize gender reveal cakes 10 years ago.
(while it’s hard to believe it’s been that long, it also reminded us to get this video posted!
) A little behind the scenes story: When I was expecting Kynzie, Grandma Duggar excitedly told me of a “new trend” that featured baking a gender reveal cake. Grandma asked if she and Amy could bake one for us?!?! Josh and I loved the idea and that was our plan…until our producers heard about the idea and it grew quite a bit! Buddy the Cake Boss ended up baking the first gender reveal cake for us! We were thrilled to cut into our pink cake with Meredith Vieira in NYC. All that to say, Grandma was the one who sparked this special tradition for our family and it sounds like a lot of other families have enjoyed the idea over the years as well! With Grandma’s passing last week, this 6th gender reveal is a reminder of her love — I’m so glad we were able to share the news of our third little girl with Great-Grandma before she went to be with Jesus! #littleduggars

The past decade has been filled with ups and downs for the pair, whose marriage was rocked by scandal in 2015. Following Josh’s extended stay at a faith-based rehabilitation center, the pair entered marriage counseling. Nearly two years later, in March 2017, they announced that they were expecting their fifth child.
In September, Anna celebrated their 11-year anniversary on Instagram, sharing a photo of the couple on their wedding day in 2008.
